Key Native Ecosystem plans The Wellington region’s native biodiversity has declined since people arrived and the ecosystems that support it face ongoing threats and pressures. Regional councils have responsibility for maintaining indigenous biodiversity, as well as protecting significant vegetation and habitats of threatened species, under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). Greater Wellington Regional Council’s (Greater Wellington) Biodiversity Strategy1 sets a framework that guides how Greater Wellington protects and manages biodiversity in the Wellington region to work towards the vision below. Greater Wellington’s vision for biodiversity Healthy ecosystems thrive in the Wellington region and provide habitat for native biodiversity The Strategy provides a common focus across the council’s departments and guides activities relating to biodiversity. The vision is underpinned by four operating principles and three strategic goals. Goal One drives the delivery of the Key Native Ecosystem (KNE) Programme. Goal One Areas of high biodiversity value are protected or restored The KNE Programme is a non-regulatory voluntary programme that seeks to protect some of the best examples of original (pre-human) ecosystem types in the Wellington region by managing, reducing, or removing threats to their ecological values.

  • Some Notes on the Linaceae
    SOME NOTES ON THE LINACEAE. THE CROSS POLLINATION OF FLAX. BY J. VARGAS EYRE ASD G. SMITH, B.Sc. (F~'om the Research ])epartmet~t, Sottth-Easteru Agricultural College, Wye.) WHILST test~ag a large number of species of Linaceae for cyanophoric glucosides during ~he past three yeaxz, it was observed that those species carrying white, blue or red flowers were more or less richly cyanophoric whereas the yellow flowered species, which for the most part exhibit an entirely different habit, fidled to yield hydrogen cyanide and seemed to be devoid of cyanogenetic enzyme. During 1913 obser- vations were made on a larger number of both blue and yellow flowered species and the previous observations have been confirmed. (Studies on Enzyme Action, xviii, Royal Soc. Proc., B, vol. LXXXV, 1912.) That the absence of cyanophoric glucoside and its enzyme is in any way correlated with the presence of the yellow pighaent cannot be stated, but the fact that both glucoside and enzyme are absent fl'om yellow flowered varieties led to the attempt being made to produce a yellow flowered flax containing glucoside or enzyme, or bothl, so as to throw light upon the question of the inheritance of Chemical Charac- teristics, and fi'om this point of view the work has been extended. The present circumstances, however, are likely to cause a break in this work, and it is therefore considered desilable at this stage to place on record the observations which have been made. 1 The most complete information relating to hybrid flaxes appears to be contained ill Graebner's Synopsis der Mitteleuropiiischen Flora but, with the exception of the uucel'.

  • The Island Rule and Its Application to Multiple Plant Traits
    The island rule and its application to multiple plant traits Annemieke Lona Hedi Hendriks A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology and Biodiversity Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand 2019 ii “The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder” Ralph W. Sockman. iii iv General Abstract Aim The Island Rule refers to a continuum of body size changes where large mainland species evolve to become smaller and small species evolve to become larger on islands. Previous work focuses almost solely on animals, with virtually no previous tests of its predictions on plants. I tested for (1) reduced floral size diversity on islands, a logical corollary of the island rule and (2) evidence of the Island Rule in plant stature, leaf size and petiole length. Location Small islands surrounding New Zealand; Antipodes, Auckland, Bounty, Campbell, Chatham, Kermadec, Lord Howe, Macquarie, Norfolk, Snares, Stewart and the Three Kings. Methods I compared the morphology of 65 island endemics and their closest ‘mainland’ relative. Species pairs were identified. Differences between archipelagos located at various latitudes were also assessed. Results Floral sizes were reduced on islands relative to the ‘mainland’, consistent with predictions of the Island Rule. Plant stature, leaf size and petiole length conformed to the Island Rule, with smaller plants increasing in size, and larger plants decreasing in size. Main conclusions Results indicate that the conceptual umbrella of the Island Rule can be expanded to plants, accelerating understanding of how plant traits evolve on isolated islands.

  • Notes for Native Planting on Dry Hills and Terraces
    Restoring Native Vegetation on South Marlborough Low Lying Hill Slopes Marlborough District Council – Tui to Town Project – June 2008 A number of property owners have expressed an interest in restoring native vegetation on the low lying hill slopes in and around the Wairau and Awatere Plain areas. Originally, a mosaic of forest types would have been present on these hills. In some cases the hill slopes retain some scattered native vegetation – while others are completely bare and are sometimes scarred by erosion. The local soils and climate combine to make these hill slopes a harsh environment in which to establish plants. However there are some native plant species adapted to surviving in the tough conditions of south Marlborough, and a number of species are worth trying to establish. Observing where there are plants already surviving should give some clues as to what might do well. Plant growth rates will be relatively slow compared to less exposed, more fertile sites on the plains. On dry sunny north facing slopes characteristic Marlborough dryland “grey scrub” plants will be the main vegetation able to be re-established. On cooler south facing slopes and in moister gullies a greener broadleaved forest can be established over time. Species on this dry north facing slope include some typical Moister gullies will support species such as mahoe, five dryland “grey scrub” species”, prostrate kowhai, silver finger, kohuhu, akiraho, tree hebe, while kanuka and tussock, Muehlenbeckia astonii and porcupine shrub “grey scrub” species persist on the dryer exposed (Melicytus Waipapa). slopes. Suitable Species The species that have survived on these hill slopes and which offer the best options for re-establishment include:- kanuka (Kunzea ericoides), Prostrate kowhai (Sophora prostrata), matagouri (Discaria toumatou), Coastal shrub daisy (Olearia solandri), shrubby totoraro (Muehlenbeckia astonii), akiraho (Olearia paniculata) and wiggy wig (Muehlenbeckia complexa), Coprosma species (C.

  • Marine Information Centre Garden ‐ Coastal Plants of Taranaki
    Marine Information Centre Garden ‐ Coastal Plants of Taranaki All the plants described below grow in coastal Taranaki, most are endemic to New Zealand, and some grow only in a very restricted range. Main garden area Most of these plants were grown by Moturoa School in their propagation unit, with the guidance of Bill Clarkson. Coprosma acerosa Planted 19 June 2012 by Moturoa School students. Family: Rubiaceae Common Name(s): Sand coprosma Endemic. Occurs in North, South, Stewart and Chatham Islands. Threat Status: Declining. Rapidly becoming scarce in large parts of its range. Seems to dislike dune reclamation and competition from marram grass. Low‐growing plant of coastal sands. Slender, flexible, sprawling to prostrate, interlacing 10cm branches and branchlets, forming a more or less cushion‐like mass up to about 2m diameter, occasionally up to 2m tall. Branchlets numerous, with yellowish brown bark. Along with many NZ plants, male & female flowers occur on different plants (dioecious). Fruit translucent pale to pale blue, often with darker flecks. There is a useful interactive key to Coprosma species on‐line: www.landcareresearch.co.nz/resources/identification/plants/coprosma‐key Corokia cotoneaster ‘Paritutu’ Planted 19 June 2012 by Moturoa School students. Family: Escalloniaceae Common name: Paritutu korokio Endemic to the west coast of the North Island, and recorded as growing in scattered populations from Paritutu Rock to Aotea Harbour, north of Kawhia. Threat status: unknown, but habitat 2cm modification, interbreeding with cultivated forms, and the scattered nature of the remaining populations could all pose issues. Much‐branched (divaricating) coastal shrub; branchlets rigid, bark dark, rough.
